Hope for the Future Fund

The Hope for the Future Fund has been established as an endowed fund for the Alzheimer Foundation London and Middlesex. Income generated by the fund goes towards research, education and support programs. Money directed to this fund can be in memory of someone, with the assurance that it will continue to provide funding for ASLM programs and services on an ongoing basis. This means that a gift to Hope for the Future in memory of your loved one becomes a lasting, permanent legacy.

Listed securities are considered immediate gifts and include stocks, bonds, bills, mutual funds, warrants and futures that are traded on approved stock exchanges.
